Thursday 28th January 2010  
  As yesterday, today was about long staying rarities: In Ireland, the Thayer's Gull was seen again at Ross Beach in County Galway and both the Forster's Tern and American Herring Gull were still to be found at Nimmo's Pier. Elsewhere, the Black-throated Thrush was still near Whitby in Yorkshire, the Lesser Scaup was still to be found at Dozmary Pool in Cornwall and the Bonaparte's Gull was still at Traeth Ligwy on Anglesey. In Highland, the Little Bunting continued to frequent gardens at Dunnet and, in Wales, the Black Kite could again be found at Gigrin Farm.

Amongst non-rarities, American Wigeon were reported in Dumfries & Galloway today and belatedly from Inverness in Highland yesterday. The Snow Goose was still with Pinkfeet in north Norfolk. Five Cattle Egrets were all in Cornwall but the six Great White Egrets were spread across six different counties. Thirteen Tundra Bean Geese were reported at five sites and four Great Grey Shrikes were seen. There were half a dozen Glaucous Gulls around the country and four Iceland Gulls.
